Work in mac render in windows

[johnsyounger]

Would love to continue to work in MacOS and render on a windows box. C4D and redshift as well but that's a different convo. Is there a way to add what I'm working on in Mac direct to windows version of AE queue or windows ME on a separate machine? Preferably to render straight to QT prores (not an img seq) 

I guess I'm simply looking for the optimal way to work in mac and render in windows maybe thru a shared drive? Or is there a better way? 
thanks

You cannot add stuff directly to a render queue from a different computer. That's regardless of whether it's a Mac or not. AE simply has no access to remote instances of AME in this fashion. At best I would imagine you could use the watch folder option in AME, but even then you may have to at least open the projects on a PC and re-save them to straighten out any kinks with regards to updating file paths, font usage, plug-ins.

So the best option would probably be a shared drive? Save on Mac and close and open on pc and render? Or an img seq with a multi machine set up? Just trying to figure out if it's worth doing...

Yes, of course you're going to need some sort of shared drive ideally or else you'll be forever copying huge amounts of footage back and forth. How you proceed from there is entirely up to you.
